Tobi Amusan Breaks 100m Hurdles World Record

Tobi Amusan broke the women’s 100m hurdles world record with a time of 12.12 seconds in the semifinals at the world track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon.

She then ran an even faster 12.06 seconds in the final, though it didn't count as a record due to too much tailwind.

The Nigerian athlete competed at Hayward Field, where she clocked her record-breaking time on Sunday.

Her previous personal best was 12.40 seconds, set in the first round at worlds on Saturday.

This achievement is significant for Amusan, who was fourth at the Tokyo Olympics and the last worlds in 2019.

She took eight hundredths off American Keni Harrison's world record of 12.20 from 2016.

Amusan's win in the final earned her the gold medal, with Jamaican Britany Anderson taking silver and Olympic gold medalist Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico taking bronze.

Amusan's record-breaking performance is the largest time drop for a world record in the event in 42 years.

And her success at the championships is a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport.

But Amusan remained focused on her goal, saying "I wanted to get out and go" after the semis.

So she did what she had to do, and it paid off with a new world record.

The former UTEP standout's performance has made headlines in the track and field world.

As she continues to compete at the highest level, fans will be watching to see what she does next.

With her new world record, Amusan has cemented her place as one of the top athletes in the sport.

And her achievement will undoubtedly inspire others to push themselves to be their best.
